It’s one law for them…
A High Court judge has ruled against the Tories’ benefits cap. The Hon Mr Justice Collins thought at least part of it unacceptable.
The judge found that failing to exempt carers from the cap unlawfully discriminated against disabled people, in breach of their human rights. Strangely enough, it seems the “strongly worded” judgment has not brought an end to Tory attacks on the most vulnerable.
What if one of us broke the law in relation to the pitiful state benefits we may receive? We could expect to receive the full force of the justice system, knuckle first, right in the kisser.
But if you happen to be a senior politician working to defend the wealth of the super-rich, things are different.
It’s almost as though toff senior judges and establishment MPs have some common interest…
